Actions

Send Event to Initiate Journey

Parameters

Send Event to Initiate Journey (Batched)

This action enters a batch of subscribers into a journey asynchronously. Use this action for bulk imports or high-frequency event data.

Batch limits

This action uses batched requests to support high-volume data transfers to the vendor. Parallel processing may result in events reaching the vendor out of sequence. If ordering is important, add a sequence value to events. For more information, see Batched actions. Requests are queued until one of the following thresholds is met or the profile is published:

• Max number of requests: 100
• Max time since oldest request: 5 minutes
• Max size of requests: 10 MB

The parameters for this action are identical to Send Event to Initiate Journey.
